These things are always depressing to me regarding meaning. I know the now point is to avoid pain/exist. But the scale and scifi, traveling, will it happen, even then what's the point but yeah. At least I'm busy being poor/trying to escape that at the moment.
I do pursue things, have goals, enjoy solving problems/making things but yeah... good reminder. Same for remembering that you are a bag of meat.
- ASalazarMX 5y agoIt's worse falling into the state of mind that no matter what you do, you're insignificant and will be forgotten, and your existence in the cosmic scale means nothing. OTOH, it's liberating, because you know your life is yours to live, it doesn't belong to history, or some nebulous legacy. Enjoy your life, good and bad, because it's the only one you'll ever have. The odds lucking out as a human were slim, as most lives here are microscopic and are not conscious enough to understand living.

- ge96 5y agoI was thinking about it, I'd probably bring the entirety of YT to keep me entertained and every media ever produced eg. movies.
- selfhoster11 5y agoHow many terabytes of content do you need not to get bored? My guess is that with some adjustments, it's gonna be just fine. We somehow dealt without and endless box of content at our disposal for centuries, and some of us were even happy.
